This was a very nice kit. a great re-intro into the hobby. Very clean mouldings, no flash, parts fit well. Paints were in good shape, although I went with my own. Brush was ok all round type. Decals worked very well. And the instructions were clear. Kit went together pretty quickly. Painting from the inside out it took me about a week to complete working on and off. roughly 12-15 hours of perfectionist time. This would be a nice gift set
